I got an email about this upcoming new iPhone case the other day, and thought it looks like another promising iPhone case + cardholder / wallet, similar to the case-mate I.D. that Brandon recently reviewed.
It ‘s called the Lightweight, and it ‘s by a new company (or it ‘s the first I ‘ve heard their name anyway) called Pocketpack “ who have a nice strapline of ‘more utility, less stuff ‘.
Hit the jump for more details on the case, a hometown connection for me, and upcoming giveaways
Here are some of the main features of the Lightweight case:
- carries currency, stationery or 2-3 cards
- cavity rails prevent cards from sliding out
- white LED flashlight activated by touch sensitive switch
- easy access for battery replacement
- durable polycarbonate iPhone 3G and 3Gs protection
- single piece, snap-on jacket with 1mm sidewalls
- screen protection kit
- access to all ports and controls
- fully dockable without removing case
Once I started taking a look at the company ‘s website and details on the Lightweight case, I noticed they are from here in Austin, and ended up having a quick chat with their founder. So I ‘ll get a chance to see one of the cases up close soon, and we ‘ll also get some to giveaway here on the site.
The Lightweight is expected to be shipping ‘this fall ‘ and will be priced at $34.99.
